2- Add the pork roast to the slow cooker and cover with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
3- Cover and cook for 8 hours at low temperature.

Super Easy Coleslaw
1 bag of coleslaw (see picture)
About 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
1 teaspoon of dried dill
3 tablespoons of pickle vinegar (yes, yes the vinegar from a jar of pickles, trust me it’s great!)
Salt and pepper to taste
Place all the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well.
Hope you and your family enjoy this great recipe.
Thanks for visiting Do It All Working Mom.

Okay, now you’ve struck a chord. This is good, old fashioned North Carolina BBQ. You can get it elsewhere (Pierce’s in Williamsburg VA is a personal favorite of mine), but it all started on the coast of NC. The slaw makes it good — and also marks it as being from the Carolina coast. They make something close to it in South Carolina (call it bog or something like that), but if you want the real deal you need to head down to NC. My favorite place for NC BBQ is on the Outer Banks. There’s nothing like sitting on the beach in the evening, while chomping on a BBQ sandwich. Darn, my mouth is watering!
